    Lovely restored hotel with a cool, modern vibe in downtown Des Moines. Right off Court St. district with tons of restaurants and fun Saturday Farmer's Market. We enjoyed the clean, comfortable rooms with modern amenities. The restaurant food was all delicious. Service was always on point. That it's very dog friendly and welcoming is a big bonus for those traveling with their pets.

    Staff was nice and helpful. Room was pretty clean, just outdated and worn which made room look dirtier than it was. Hotel is pet friendly which was a major plus for me. There’s a large grass area in the back that was perfect to take the dog out to play in the morning. Location was convenient. Right by airport and local expressway.
